community want gun control of a different kind. they want to be able to decide if a gun show can come to town. kpix 5 reporter elissa harrington is live at the cow palace to show us what's standing in their way. >> reporter: cow palace stratles san mateo county and san francisco county but is actually owned by the state. because of this, it's been hard for local leaders to have any say over what happens here but a new bill could change that giving supervisors a voice and a tool to curb violence. reporter: >> what you see here today are people saying enough is enough. >> reporter: the supervisor, people who live in her district and other community leaders gather outside the cow palace where gun shows have been held for decades. their message, not in our backyard anymore. >> gun shows do not reflect our cultural values here. >> reporter: after years of trying to ban the shows with no success, lawmakers are taking a different approach with senate bill 475 introduced by senator

mark leno. it would require approval from san mateo and san francisco county supervisors before a gun show could go on. >> if elected officials from this neighborhood from the adjoining counties would like a gun show, they have the right to express that and if they don't want it, they should have the right not only to express it but be heard. that's all this bill does. >> reporter: currently, firearms and ammunition can be sold there without any local input. the main concern is safety. in the last six months, within two miles of the cow palace, there have been 75 gun related crimes. the venue is across from the sunnyvale housing project and the bayview. some people who live in nearby neighborhoods say this bill is a matter of life or death. >> this gun shop bullet came at me. >> reporter: he was shot a couple of weeks ago while speaking out against guns. he has a violence prevention and youth leadership program.

only recommend suitable securities. >> reporter: but not all do. >> maybe because they are making a higher commission or they haven't paid attention. >> reporter: so far, the clinic's helped return more than a million dollars to small investors. and linda is one of the success stories. she got all her money back plus interest. money she now has in a safe investment. >> i was delighted. i didn't think i would ever see that money again. >> reporter: now, losing money in an investment doesn't necessarily mean the broker did something wrong. it must be an an unsuitable investment for the client. go to cbssf.com/consumerwatch for more. >> at least one place for people to go out when they run out of options, for free. we traded the rain for cold temperatures and wind today. >> it is brisk out there. if anything, the wind has increased and increased. i'm getting more tweets and more facebook postings. what's going on with the wind outside? because the low pressure area that gave us the rainfall has
